An accomplished trial lawyer, Rebecca Mandel has handled all aspects of litigation start-to-finish, from pre-lawsuit skirmishing through complicated ESI discovery and motions practice to trial and appeal. Rebecca has served as trial counsel in multiple successful bench and jury trials in federal and state courts across the country.
Rebecca represents clients in a wide range of complex commercial litigation matters. Rebecca co-heads the firm's False Advertising and Unfair Competition group; her broad practice focuses on Lanham Act claims, as well as state law claims of false advertising and unfair competition, particularly in the life sciences, food and beverage, and consumer products industry sectors. Rebecca also routinely handles consumer protection claims, contract disputes, business tort, trade secret, patent, and trademark claims.
A strategic thinker and an effective and articulate advocate, Rebecca has been recognized by SuperLawyers as a "Rising Star" among Washington, D.C. lawyers for 2014-2017. Rebecca's active pro bono practice also has garnered two Outstanding Achievement awards from the Washington Lawyers' Committee (in 2013 and 2014) for her work in fair housing and employment discrimination matters. Prior to joining Hogan Lovells in 2007, Rebecca served as a law clerk to the Honorable Peter J. Messitte of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland.
